About this property
Seafront apartment in historic Three Cities with great views over Grand Harbour
The apartment is licensed by the Malta Tourism Authority (Licence No HPI/6655) in the HFP Comfort 1-2 category.
Not only does the apartment have stunning views of Grand Harbour but is also just a short stroll away from the 12th century Fort St Angelo and the Grand Harbour Marina with its ocean-going superyachts, restaurants, wine bars and Maritime Museum.
As a fully equipped three bedroom family home, the apartment offers a high standard of contemporary, stylish accommodation for holidaymakers seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday on the doorstep of one of Malta’s oldest, most beautiful and historic cities, Birgu.
There is a large, open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room that opens out onto a sea-facing stone balcony with table and chairs.
The large master bedroom has a superking-size bed and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom has a king size bed and shares a family bathroom with the third bedroom which has twin beds and a door to the internal courtyard. All bedrooms have air-conditioning.
The apartment is fully furnished as a family home rather than a holiday let. Its contemporary style with design classics such as a Le Corbusier chaise longue and Noguchi coffee table is complemented with an eclectic mix of colourful pictures and rugs to provide a vibrant yet relaxing environment.
If you would like our cleaner to clean the apartment during your stay, you can request her to do this and pay her directly.
Airport pick up and key collection: Unless you wish to make your own way from the airport, we can arrange for you to be picked up from the airport (6km from apartment) by our preferred taxi company.
If you wish to hire a car, you can park it in a secure parking space in the outdoor car park adjacent to St Angelo Mansions.
In the apartment, you will find an information pack containing further details about the apartment, Birgu, Maltese tourist attractions, maps and bus timetables.
There is a minimum stay of seven nights between 1 June and 30 September and a minimum stay of five nights for the rest of the year.

The most stunning location and views. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. The apartment is huge and has everything we needed. The views across the bay are just breathtaking. The photos on the listing really don’t do this place justice.A real home from home with parking included which is a rarity in this area. Lots to do nearby- Birgu is beautiful and a quick 3 crossing by boat to Valletta. We hope to return soon.
Wow what a stunning apartment. A real home from home. It had everything we could possibly need. Also the pictures dont do it justice. The view from the balcony is like something from a film set. We feel super lucky to have stayed here.
Great stay in this apartment. Well equipped, comfortable and clean with a fantastic view. Located in a lovely part of Malta. Lots of character but not too busy. Easy to get to Valletta and plenty of restaurants. Light festival was a bonus.

So glad you enjoyed your stay Mandy and hope you come again.

Our family had an amazing time in Birgu.The location of the apartment was amazing and the views everyday were divine. The apartment is bigger than i expected and Birgu is such a beautiful place. Christiane was a fantastic host. Communication prior to us staying and asking if we needed anything, really clear instructions and we always knew we could reach out if we needed anything with her responsive. Very happy with her service.The apartment was very clean and everything was in fantastic working order. We didn’t need to bring anything as everything was provided around linen, towels etc. The kitchen was very spacious as was the lounge room. The location and view amazing! Nice restaurants in close proximity to the apartment. Beautiful peaceful walks as less hustle and bustle. The Ferry to Valletta is a nice easy 10 minute walk. We didn’t have a car but there is a car park spot available. That is the only thing we would change the next time we visit is to hire a car when staying this Side of the island. All in all Christiane was a fantastic host, beautiful apartment and lovely holiday and we will definitely come back!
Beautiful location, lovely clean apartment. In a location where there are plenty of restaurants with good quality food.Lovely little boats to get to Valetta from the waterfront. Just all round lovely.
Well equipped apartment in a fantastic location. It was a joy to walk down the steps and into the sea. Excellent restaurants in easy walking distance and San Angelo fort right on the doorstep is a must see. Only downside was the mini mart in Birgu seemed to be permanently shut.
Just loved the location of this comfortable flat from swimming off the tocks outside to visiting Birgu and the short ferry trip to Vallettta. Some trouble finding car park initially but got there in end.
Apartment is in a great location! Just outside St Angelo Fort. Quiet but easy access to many restaurants. Easy access to Valletta by boat ferry. Plenty of space for family vacation and all the necessary amenities!
This property in Birgu, Malta has a beautiful setting. The ground floor balcony looks across the marina and enjoys views of the Grand Harbour and Valetta in the distance. The accommodation is roomy and as presented in the documentation and is equipped with all the amenities to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.
A home from home that is well equipped with everything a family would need. The location is great; Birgu is a lovely area with easy access to other parts of the island.
My family with two sons (27 and 18) abdolutely enjoyed our stay at the the wonderful flat. We could take a bath every morning in the sea and enjoy the view of the harbour and valetta. We enjoyed tje fine dining in Valetta, the wonderful nature of Gozo and the market on tuesday in Birgu. We love to cook together and a wonderful tume .
Lovely property in a brilliant location. Loved being able to swim in the harbour, easy to get to Valletta and lots of local restaurants. Plenty of space for our whole party. Information for the keys clear, just complicated by Ryanair changing flight times as it meant we arrived about 1am which made the process stressful in the dark.
Excellent apartment in a perfect location. Homely and comfortable, plenty of space for 6. Well equipped throughout including outdoor seating for sitting in the balcony to watch the boats and fireworks. We really enjoyed jumping into the harbour outside the building to swim.
Situated in the best place to experience historic Malta, walking distance to lots or great bars and restaurants in Birgu and Kalkara, plus easy to take the boats across to Valletta. We had a fabulous stay and hope to return.
I cannot tell you how stunning the view from this apartment is. It's a great location, near to everything but calm. The apartment itself is pretty straightforward, with three good sized bedrooms, washer and dryer, and full sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Two full bathrooms. The whole area is stunning, walking to and from the apartment every day is wonderful. We would happily stay there again anytime!

Thank you for your kind words and I am glad that you enjoyed yourselves despite arriving shortly after the worst storm that Malta has experienced since 1982!
We all loved staying at Christiane's apartment in Birgu. The flat was spotless, and very well equipped especially the kitchen, so much so we tried to guess what we would not find!! A colander! The view from the balcony is fantastic, and we were lucky enough to be there when the fireworks from Valletta were taking place, from row seating!!
We would love to go back again sometime and highly recommend, many thanks for letting us stay!

So glad that you all enjoyed your stay. But you are wrong, I do have a colander!
We absolutely loved this apartment. Very convenient to everything in Birgu. The ferry and water taxi are both within easy walking distance to get to Valletta.
The kitchen has whatever pans/dishes you might need. The view is great from the balcony, (just bring the chairs in if it's going to rain, they get pretty dirty). And I should mention the bed in the master bedroom is soft and oh so comfortable😊
If I'm ever back in Malta, this is where I'll stay.

Unrivalled apartment and location but
there must have been some issues on this occasion as the apartment was much dirtier than my own when I haven’t cleaned for a long while. Only floors superficial clean and fresh sheets but otherwise bedding needs throwing out or proper cleaning, generally needed a deep clean but maybe this is because we came out of season.The owner seems very kind and she said the cleaner had an issue, but it couldn’t be better situated.
Steps from the water, relax on a beautiful terrace watching the ships pass by and know you are just minutes by water taxi or ferry from the action in Valletta but at home in quiet and serene Birgu. The apartment was spacious and well equipped with comfortable beds, two showers plus a washer and drier. We found Il-Pjazzetta self service close for most groceries. There are lots of excellent restaurants a close walk away. Christiane was always available to answer questions and give advice and she arranged Franklin garage to pick us up at the airport. We also used Franklin for the return trip to the airport as well as a full day long trip to Gozo. We would absolutely return to this property on another trip to Malta.

Half term family holiday
The location of this apartment is fantastic and sitting on the balcony for breakfast was great. We didn't hire a car as there was plenty to do just meandering around Birgu. We did walk to the sandy bay for a swim but mostly we just went for a dip in front of the apartment. We used the ferry to get to Valetta and the open top bus stop was also close by. The local grocery shops serve the local community but had everything we required. The only thing missing was tourist shops. The owner arranged for our pickup at the airport and the driver waited while we purchased bread milk etc in the airport shop as we arrived late on a Saturday. The property was clean and well furnished and very comfortable. We would recommend this property and would consider staying there again ourselves.

About the host
Hosted by Christiane Morris
I lived in Malta until I was 11 - a most wonderful, 'golden' childhood spending most of my time either in or by the sea. I have always retained a very strong emotional tie to this quirky island and we bought our apartment in 2007 to spend time here with our family and friends.
Why they chose this property
The location is just superb - as soon as I arrive, throw open the front doors and go onto the balcony, I can forget everything else. There is always something to watch in Grand Harbour - from superyachts and super-sized cruise ships to rowing boats and the local luzzu. Even a dolphin or two if you are lucky!
What makes this property unique
The view - and the access to such a wide variety of places to eat and drink just on the doorstep. In the summer, we also love swimming in the sea just outside the apartment or crossing the creek and making our way round to the sandy bay at Rinella.
